Yeah It's Fall!!
It looks like fall is finally here!! Yeah Fall!!!
autumn is definitely my favorite season of the year. It means leaves and cool days, the smell of cinnamon and spice, pumpkins and festivals. I have always enjoyed this time of year, but after watching baby Gracie as she saw her first pumpkin and tasted her first fresh-from-the-tree apple last year, I have a new reason to celebrate September through November.
Garren and I hope once again to take Gracie to the "Pumpkin Patch" in Middletown. Last year she went a couple of times. She had a blast riding around in a wagon and touching the pumpkins and gourds, as well as seeing the ponies, calves, hens and other barnyard animals. But, her favorite thing of all was watching the helicopter take off and land in the apple orchard. The family that runs the pumpkin patch from their home has helicopter rides to view their property. Our whole family had such a wonderful time last year! We hope that Gracie's grandparents can join us for the festivities this year.
Other fall things I am looking forward to: Baking pumpkin pie with Gracie, Making sugar cookies, letting Gracie taste cider, picking out and carving our pumpkin, raking and jumping in to leaves, taking Gracie and her tricycle (which she is learning to peddle) to the park, Gracie's second Halloween, putting extra blankets on the bed, pulling out the jackets, time with family and warm meals
There are so many wonderful moments that we miss out on if we try to hurry too fast. Don't let autumn's wonderful adventure pass you and your family by. Enjoy each day and each season, and each year that God gave you.
